Edgar Allan Poe Modern Critical Views
1,244 words
The short story writer which I have chosen to
research is Edgar Allen Poe. After reading one of
his works in class, I realized that his mysterious
style of writing greatly appealed to me. Although
many critics have different views on Poe's writing
style, I think that Harold Bloom summed it up best
when he said, Poe has an uncanny talent for
exposing our common nightmares and hysteria
lurking beneath our carefully structured lives.
(7) For me, this is done through his use of
setting and narrative...

suggests that obstacles that one faces in life can
either be used to mold ones success or bring about
ones failure. If one can overcome challenges that
they face they grow in a unique type of way, for

what establishes a persons character and
perception of the world. However if one cannot

The epic poem Grendel GRENDEL The epic poem
Beowulf tells of an evil, mysterious, and
ravishing creature named Grendel. Although no
precise concrete descriptions or visual references
were given to me throughout the story, I was able
to formulate my own personal opinion of what this
horrifying beast may have looked like. The amoral,
despised, and feared Grendel was a colossal,
muscular beast capable of ripping any human man to
shreds. His razor sharp teeth and pointy horns
were ideal for tearing ...

As I walked into the lecture hall, I saw people
ranging from the literary community? s elite to
high school students. Taking my seat, the crowd
hushed as a rather distinguished looking man
walked to the podium. The man prepared his notes

anticipating his words of wisdom. I knew this was
